Summary
This study tested whether a gel containing timolol, a drug usually used for glaucoma, can help small surgical wounds heal faster. 87 adults with skin cancer removal wounds up to 1.5 cm were treated with either timolol gel or a standard gel. The main goal was to see if the wound closed completely within 30 days, and doctors also checked scar appearance. The study aimed to find a safe, simple way to improve healing after minor skin surgery.
